About This Item
London, B. T. Batsford first edition - h/c in d.j. The atmosphere of a Court is enclosed and artificial. The monarch in the past enjoyed a wide degree of power without a corresponding sense of obligation or responsibility; and for the courtiers, whose position depended on their agreeableness, flattery has always been at a premium just as frankness has been inhibited. How do men and women react in circumstances where normal standards of behaviour are inapplicable? 230 x 160mm., pp. 232, b/w plates, sl. wear top spine & corners, very bright & clean, VG/VG.
